Leather Color Repair, British Tan 1 OZ - Repair, Recolor and Restore Couch, Furniture, Auto Interior, Car Seats, Vinyl and Shoes

I loved this product so much, I went ahead and ordered the bigger 4oz bottle just now, so I have it on hand should I need it again. I had two 14" blotchy orange patches on each of my dark espresso leather couches (A result of a big dog who likes to drool while sleeping.) The first product I tried to use on it was nothing but a messy disaster. This on the other hand worked brilliantly. It was a piece of cake to apply and only took a few minutes once I cleaned the leather. I just threw on a pair of hair dye gloves and used one of my makeup sponges to work it in using a dabbing motion (like applying under eye concealer.) It was touch dry in less than 30 mins (ceiling fan on.) I did two applications just because it was a such a bright orange and the next day, put on leather conditioner. Even I cant tell where the discoloration was. The only tip I have for anyone using this product is be careful near the stitching on your couch. I was careless in one section and dyed part of the beige stitching dark brown but honestly, no one but me will ever notice it.

I was surprised to see how well this product covered scuffs and scratches. It went on easily, and I was able to wash the product off my hands when done. Once it dries, the product did not rub off onto clothing. I experimented a little by getting my treated leather wet again. It still stayed colorfast, and the gouges in the leather were still repaired. I treated a purse and a couple of pairs of shoes, and still have a little product left over. No product is a perfect solution, but this is the best I have tried so far.

My couch is a brownish red with a tent of purple. We ordered the maroon and it matched very well. I was disappointed that there were some spots that looked a little “streaky”. This happened specifically on the sections that were really worn down, though. I added a little water to the cloth and that helped to spread it out. I also had to use another coat on that section, understandably. The last picture shows the finished product with some streaks. Note that there is a patch on one section to cover a previous hole. The patch was slightly darker than the couch so I was attempting to match the couch more so than the patch. I also put some leather conditioner on after it dried to help spruce it up more and add some moisture back in as the product did seem to dry up the leather a bit. Very happy overall!

I have a brown leather loveseat and couch combo that is approaching the 4 year old mark. There are a few places in the seats we commonly use where the dark brown color is starting to wear off so I thought I would use this product the restore the color. The solution comes out of the bottle in a deep rich brown color but I found it did nothing to my furniture at all. The color did not absorb into the leather. I then placed the lid back on the bottle and shook vigorously in case that was the issue and tried again but this made not difference. Maybe I just got a bad bottle but I didn't find this did anything to help restore the original color of the leather. I have top of the line leather furniture so I know the quality of the leather is not the issue. I hope others have better luck with this product.

It not the color that I was looking for, but is a great product

We have a expensive light brown leather chair with a matching ottoman that we have had for over 20 years. Over time it got a few minor scratches. Though minor I wanted to see if I could fix them. While working on R&D project at work I worked with a company that made the textured treated paper that is used to put the leather pattern into what is called genuine leather. All the leather you see in automobile seats and furniture is actually cow hide that has been coated and embossed and then coated again with a clear wear layer. So I knew in order to fix the scratches I need to fill them in with a coating the color of the chair. For me this coating (which is what some people call a paint) worked great. I applied a thin coating on the scratches with a tooth pick, waited about 10 seconds, and then wipped away the excess with a damp paper towel. Presto the scratches were gone. My wife tried to find the scratches but she was amazed that they were gone. So for my project this product was just what I needed.

I have a $2000 leather couch that has the "Top Grain" type of leather (look it up - its a variety of finished used on couches). It supposed to be impossible to re-dye... I picked what looked to be a close match in color. My dog has been sleeping resting her head on the couch and her drool has worn the color off the leather, but left the leather in good condition otherwise. I used this product to slowly touch up the area by dabbing it on and letting it dry. While it washes off easily from your hands when still wet, once its dry, it seems to soak into the leather and does not wash off. I tested trying to wipe it away with a wet cloth and NO COLOR transfers onto the cloth. WOW. Very impressed. A little bottle goes a LONG way.

Two years ago I had a tear the top of the front of the arm of my leather couch. Seeing as it was in a difficult spot I decided to have a professional repair and they also used a color dye to restore the worn color on the chair and couch. It cost me $200. Two years later the repair isn’t holding so I decided to repair it myself ad use the leather restore. Looks as good as what the professional did. My set is leather, 12 years old, daily use from 2 adults and2 dogsand looks great. I also use Lexol conditioner every few months. I don’t expect the color to be a permanent solution and will reapply when needed. If your cushions have zippers you can add a layer of quilt batting to fluff them up. The attached back cushions my set also have zippers so I added some poly Fil to those. Looks like new!
